Ski resort details
Features and details of Saku Ski Garden Parada

Saku Ski Garden Parada is the only ski resort in Japan directly connected to a highway, offering outstanding accessibility! It has a high rate of sunny days, with 90% clear skies! Even those not confident driving on snowy roads can easily reach the resort! A variety of ski lessons are available, perfect for families and first-timers! After a day of skiing or snowboarding, refresh yourself at Miharashi-no-Yu, a day-trip hot spring with a natural open-air bath.
Japan's only ski resort with direct access from the highway is about a 90-minute drive from the Nerima Interchange on the Kan-Etsu Expressway and just 5 minutes from the Sakudaira Smart Interchange to North Parada, the main slope area! Access is excellent, even for cars without snow chains on most roads leading to the resort. The area around Saku Ski Garden Parada boasts a 90% chance of clear skies throughout the season, and 80% of the slopes are designed for beginner to intermediate skiers, making it perfect for everyone, from first-time skiers to families with young children. This season, the Snow Plaza Slope in the South Parada area welcomes all types of snow sports equipment, including snow scooters, and features exciting new snow items. Original Parada food trucks are back in the North Parada area! Favorites previously available only at summer events can now be enjoyed right on the slopes this winter! The indoor kids' land and sledding slope have also been greatly expanded, ensuring families with young children will have a fantastic experience! Check our website for more details!
